4 Natural Ways to Conquer Morning Sickness for Pregnant Women

But relief is available in the form of natural remedies prescribed by Ayurveda. A combination of specific foods, herbs, lifestyle changes can reduce morning sickness and allow you to enjoy the gift that is motherhood.

Cardamom Seeds:

Roast cardamom seeds, grind them, and eat a small pinch of it throughout the day. If that’s too much effort, just chew on one or two cardamom seeds. The change of taste will help soothe the vomiting sensation. Black cardamom subdues Kapha, Pitta and Vata whereas the green cardamom stimulates pitta and soothes Vata and Kapha.

Follow a Vata-balancing diet:

Pregnant women should look to balance their Vata dosha, because it gives energy to the nervous system. They should have warm, freshly made meals made from fresh vegetables, whole or sprouted grains cooked in healthy oils like ghee or coconut oil.

Herbal Tea:

Boil ¼ teaspoon of ginger powder and ¼ teaspoon of fennel seeds in hot water. Strain the mixture and sip on this throughout the day. You can also try sipping on chamomile, lemon or peppermint tea. These help in managing nausea, dizziness, vomiting, headaches and indigestion.

Sleeping posture:

Expecting mothers should sleep on their side because it helps deliver blood and nutrients to the placenta and the baby. This will also reduce the morning sickness that is brought on by inadequate sleep or poor sleep cycle.
